+ + Gallium workshop's flagship model By Gallium Workshop + Software +
+Abstract
++ The Jankbook is a collection of efforts from many developers to create + the Quran of security breaching, from developers of Sh1mmer, to the + developers of Linux Mint. Jankbook explores the limitations of school + issued devices. The Jankbook v1 is from a Dell 3100 2-in-1. Using + Sh1mmer from Mercury Workshop which unenrolls the Chromebook from + enterprise Enrollment. These devices are all underpowered intel chips + with no general uses. Which ultimately leads to a pinnacle of Jank, and + helps make it look “hacker”. +
+Intro
+Why?
+Cuz why fking not? -KaitoTLex
++ The Jankbook is a device that puts actual use to the shitty school + issued Chromebooks. These Chromebook has hardware that existed since the + dinosaurs and engineered by Lenovo and Dell. To create Luther’s 95 + Theses of poor engineering and easy security breach. +
+How it was done
+Sh1mmer
++ Shimmer is a software that is written by Mercury Workshop which is one + of Gallium Workshop’s alliance organizations. Sh1mmer requires rewriting + the partition in the Chromebook’s enterprise enrollment. We used Sh1mmer + to remove the enterprise enrollment and trick the Chromebook to believe + that it isn’t enrolled, by jamming the “Dev Mode” in the Chromebook. The + Chromebook was enrolled into the district’s enrollment which was an + issue. With Sh1mmer rewriting the disk partition, Sh1mmer ridded the + district’s enrollment. Then Sh1mmer allowed “dev mode” to work on the + Chromebook. +
+Mr.Chromebox
++ “Dev mode” being enabled, the Chromebook was abandonded for a few + months. The project was revived when one kid wanted arch on his + Chromebook but Sh1mmer was patched so the “Sh1mmered” Chromebook was + given to him to continue the legacy. Mr. Chromebox basically rewrites + the coreboot of the Chromebook to run a Legacy Bios or UEFI. +
+Xero Linux
++ After the UEFI was flashed within a tricked Chromebook, the first + initial test was to see whether the Chromebook’s specs can keep up with + the bloat that is XeroLinux. XeroLinux is a distro of the Arch distro + that may look “hacker” or “jank”. Honestly it’s just filled with bloat + but it looked cool. +
+Manjaro
++ Afterwards the team shifted from Xero Linux to Manjaro which is peak of + Arch-based distributions. Manjaro was deemed the most jank part of this + Chromebook’s life. +
+MINT
++ Afterwards the Chromebook was abandoned which eventually led to the + final form of the computer, Mint. Mint is a Debian-based distribution + that is deemed the world’s most stable distribution. The distribution + can do Linux stuff in a more user-friendly way. +
+Conclusion
++ Don’t do it unless you are a medically trained professional, you must be + able to diagnose yourself. Each process of this project was done in a + safe environment in a professional and educational setting. We are not + liable for any damage done to the Chromebook. This project is to prove + the potential use cases of these majestic pieces of art if it weren’t + for the enterprise enrollment or being on ChromeOS. +
